"A muscular but intelligent brand of fusion and funk."
ALBUM
" His music is unpretentious and fun and unashamedly groove orientated but there's an underlying musical intelligence and a subtlety that is sometimes masked by his down to earth approach. "
ALBUM
"Castelli's undoubted ‘way with a groove’ helps to push the soloists to new heights on a set of compositions that stir other elements, notably from Africa & Brazil, into the broadly fusion-esque style."
